Diljit Dosanjh’s Film on Jaswant Singh Khalra Undergoes Drastic Transformation Amid CBFC Controversy

Diljit Dosanjh and Arjun Rampal are all set to star in a film based on the life of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights activist who was killed by the police in Punjab in 1995. The film, titled Ghallughara, has been in the making for several years and has faced several challenges, including controversy over its storyline and difficulty getting clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

However, the film appears to be finally on track. It has undergone a title change and is now called Sahib. It will also be premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) before its release in India.

Sahib is directed by Honey Trehan and produced by Ronnie Screwvala. It is a fictionalized account of the life of Jaswant Singh Khalra, who fought for the rights of Sikh prisoners who had been illegally detained and tortured by the police. Khalra was eventually killed by the police himself, but his work helped to bring attention to the human rights abuses that were taking place in Punjab in the 1990s.

Sahib is a powerful and timely film that tells the story of a man who fought for justice, even at the cost of his own life. It is sure to be a moving and important film that will resonate with audiences around the world. The film’s title change is likely due to the controversy that surrounded the original title, Ghallughara. Ghallughara is a Punjabi word that means “massacre.” The title was seen by some as being too inflammatory, and it was feared that it could incite violence. The new title, Sahib, is more neutral and is less likely to be seen as controversial.

The film’s premiere at TIFF is also a significant development. TIFF is one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world, and its selection is a sign that Sahib is a film of high quality. The film’s premiere at TIFF is sure to generate a lot of buzz and will help to build anticipation for its release in India.
